Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa Chiwenga is back at Chikurubi Maximum Prison after she appeared in court today. The former model appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court on Saturday facing allegations of assault.

When Marry appeared in courts to answer to the fresh allegations, the prosecution said that she should not be granted bail because she had violated her bail conditions by committing another crime while out on bail. They argued that she should be denied bail because she had committed another crime which involves violence.

Harare Magistrate Bianca Makwande agreed with the prosecutions’ reasoning and denied Marry bail on the assault charges. Marry was remanded in custody after the magistrate Makwande ruled that she has a “propensity to commit crimes of violence” and “does not learn from her mistakes.” As a result, Marry returns to the female section of the notorious Chikurubi Maximum Prison where she previously spent three weeks after being denied bail by another Harare Magistrate on a number of charges.

Apart from the new assault charge, Marry is already facing numerous allegations which include, at least six counts of illegally externalizing funds well worth over one million United States Dollars, five counts of money laundering and one count of fraud where she allegedly forged a marriage certificate. The state alleges that Marry illegally solemnized a secret marriage presided over by Acting Chief Magistrate Munamato Mutevedzi without Chiwenga’s consent.

Marry also stands accused of attempting to kill Vice President Constantino Chiwenga when he was critically ill and receiving treatment in South Africa.

Following the denial of bail, Marry will need to approach the High Court again to appeal the denial of bail. Last time the process lasted more than three weeks before Marry was finally released.
